We went here last weekend after wanting to grab a quick bite. We ate our hamburgers and fries outside Union Square Park and I forgot to take pictures of our food. Smashy is a small establishment with an even smaller menu. However, we were totally fine with it because we don't mind coming back next time. The hamburgers and fries were crisp, cooked well when the cook smashed the burgers at the end with the onions just the right taste where it melts in your mouth. We ordered two cokes in the glass bottles - the day itself felt like a nostalgic Summer eat at the park. I thought it was interesting and cool to see a camera in Smashy by the condiments, of their location on Budapest. Neat idea, at the other side of the world. If you register for rewards, you receive a Smashy sticker, available by the cashier. All in all, quick and good service, all payments accepted. No sitting inside, you can stand to eat or find some spots outside to enjoy your Smashy meal. read more

This was a pretty good burger and definitely affordable for the size. I got a double with fries, definitely filling. There was a bit of a line, but it moved super quick and the fries were super fresh. I like the seasoning on them, but there were some that were overly seasoned and a bit tough to eat. I'd return! First time but definitely not the last. read more

It's ok. Small menu. Fast food burger and fries. Nothing wows me. They smash the patty thin. Good flavor. But the whole burger is very messy. Service is quick. You order and get the food right away. They premade everything. Fries were cold. It's very hot inside due to open kitchen. You can stand and eat by the bar table. Price is equivalent of the size you get. It's small portion for burger and fries. read more

I had to run some errands and passed this small burger shop that stood out to me. It was not hard to miss and cannot be missed with the whole restaurant painted blue. It was very blue outside between regular buildings nearby. It also said American Flavor, European Soul on the window so it got me hooked to try out their burgers. The kitchen staff were busy cooking beef patties and the whole restaurant was very tight and long. Luckily it was not crowded and only had 3 more customers inside standing and eating their food. There were no tables and chairs. There was only a counter with ketchup and napkins. I placed my order with the cashier and surprisingly enough, I did not have to wait for my order to be prepared! I was shocked! I purchased a double beef patty cheeseburger along with fries and the cashier immediately gave me the bag that was next to her on the counter. There were a couple of bags on the counter piled next to each other. I think they prepared the orders and bag them for incoming orders. I never experienced this in my life before so it was very shocking and convenient at the same time to experience the prompt and fast service at Smashy. It was so fast that I got out in no time. This burger joint really reminded me of other burger joints like 7th Street with the affordable prices of a single and double patty burger. The single patty was at $5.99 and double was at $7.99. The fries were $2.99! To my amazement, the burger was still very warmed when I took a bite after my long commute back to my office from the rainy, cold weather. The fries were still standing pretty good after that long commute on the train to my job from Union Square to City Hall. The burger was very cheesy and cooked well done in a good way that did not dry out the beef patties. Beef patties were very tender and juicy. The melted cheese made it even more juicier. The bun was very soft and did not require teeth action. The cashier also offered to put house sauce on the burger so with the sauce and cheese made the burger very good with every bite. The fries were seasoned with this red powder that got your hands dirty. It was worth it though! The fries were very good with just the seasoning powder alone. I did not need any ketchup to go with it. Smashy gave a lot of fries so I was very full from it. I finished every fry. I will definitely be coming here again when I pass by Smashy. It was a fast and good bite to combat my hunger. The fast service and attentiveness just blew me away so I'm definitely passing by this place for lunch. read more

Nice casual spot for a quick bite. There isn't any room for seating, only bar standing. The burgers are kept warm under a lamp before ordering, so they come out pretty quick. I do think they are made pretty soon before though as mine didn't taste stale or anything. Got my burger with the house sauce. Super saucy, flavorful, and a nice bite. read more

Stopped by here after my dentist appointment since it was so close. I always saw this place on social media so finally got the chance to try it. For this price, you can't beat the burger that you're getting. Comes in a nice potato bun and it's an enjoyable treat. When I ordered, I got my burger right away. I guess everything is made beforehand and they keep it under heating lamps. I do wish the temperature of my burger was warmer but once again, at this price point, you can't really go wrong I'll be back again read more

Last Tuesday was brutally hot and after a movie I decided to have a burger at Smashy. I ordered a single burger with cheese. When I mentioned that I didn't like the fries as the spice sprinkled on top wasn't appealing. I was told that I could get it plain too. Naturally I got it and it was tasty. Now I know where I can get the two for rock bottom prices!!! read more

Coming here all I was expecting was a regular smash burger however it was the not the case. Food: Compared to other Smash burger tasting I would say this one was different, How So? Well this is somehow more saucy and also the taste of cheese is more dominant, making everything melt in my mouth. The fries were just great, with great seasoning and texture. (Both burgers and fries were slightly not as warm as they should be) Service: Well it was pretty quick especially how there was a line and people waiting as well so I felt happy getting my food that quick. Ambiance: There are no seatings so you will probably be eating standing up or can walk to Union Square and sit there. (I would probably add some Bar stool to offer some comfort to some guests). read more

This is just a really good, somewhat unique burger. The smashburger concept has in many senses been overdone, you find them pretty much everywhere now, offering a relatively squashed and small burger for exorbitant prices. The taste blends together after a while. However, smashy burger managed to surpass my usually low expectations for smash burgers significantly. Apparently it's a franchise based in Hungary - and this is their only US location. Quite frankly, I should have expected it to be good, because it they bothered to bring it all over from Hungary to the USA - it's gonna be pretty good. First, price point is reasonable. Paid $6 for a double burger. That's not bad at all, especially in Manhattan (Union Square). Second, it avoids the problem many smash burgers have (being too dry). I ordered it "house-style", which comes with this difficult to identify orange sauce. It was moist and added significant creaminess and flavor without being overwhelming (common in many US restaurants). I can't exactly call this health food, but it wasn't worse for you then it needed to be. Third, service was just comically fast. You order the burger, it comes out pretty much instantly. Not sure you can ask for more from a burger place. Just as a heads-up, there's no real seating or tables in or anywhere near the restaurant, so I'm not actually sure how you're supposed to eat the french fries (you can just take the burger and eat it any way you want - you won't be disappointed!) Anyways, I had a great time and will definitely get this again if I'm in Union Square again. read more

Usually when I eat smash burgers like this I feel like crap but I think this place uses quality beef because I was fine after eating 1.5 burgers. I ordered two cheese burgers as I thought they would be small. The burgers are a good size. One burger with fries is a good sized snack of a meal. The cheeses was nice and gooey and melted. The meat had some crispy bits to it as well that added to texture. From the first bite I was getting a regular Mac cheeseburger. But as I kept eating it was giving more cheesy beefy flavors. I ordered on uber eats so I can't say much about the service but it came fairly fast. read more

I had heard about this new smash burger place and wanted to drop by to try it. It was a busy Saturday when we decided to swing by and the burgers were getting churned out quickly. There is standing room only here, so your only option is to eat the burger standing on the counter or take it to go, which is what we did. The menu is pretty small and simple. We were handed our burgers soon after we ordered (they were pre-made and just flying off the shelf) The burger was your standard smash burger, I guess my complaint is that there is nothing about this burger that sets it apart. Not the sauce, nothing. Because this was already made when we ordered it, it wasn't even hot and fresh and melt in your mouth. Fries were on the dry side. I would also say the burgers are more on the smaller side. The edges of the beef weren't crisp like they typically are in a smash burger. This tasted more like a small double cheeseburger to me than anything. read more

I decided to check this place out based on a tiktok food creator who recommended it. Also I wanted to wander around union square after work. I honestly couldn't stop wondering what restaurant was here before. I feel it might have been maoz vegetarian, the falafel spot. Anyhow I ordered a single cheeseburger with fries. I considered asking for the sauce to be omitted but I rocked with it anyhow. I am glad because it was applied sparingly . My burger tasted hot and fresh. The soft roll is a nice touch. The fries are crispy and seasoned with paprika. I liked the crisp but not greasy taste. This place is very affordable clean and quick. My only concern is how crowded it might get during a rush. Also I had to say multiple times excuse me to someone who stood in front of me like a brick wall when my name was called. read more

Smashy - Double Classic Cheese Burger - Burgers Near Me - New York, New York

Smashy 42 Union Square East New York, NY 10003 Single House Cheeseburger French Fries The menu is very limited and simple; you are in the perfect spot if you are craving a burger and fries. The order was ready within seconds; it was identical to the scene with Ray Kroc (Michael Keaton) receiving his bagged meal in The Founder. Although the burger has a scrawny appearance, it was very tasty. I was a huge fan of their secret sauce. The fries are also a hit; the seasonings add a terrific flavor. Regrettably, the seating area is not the greatest. It is a narrow hallway with minimal standing room; I recommend getting your order to go. During my visit, the cashier never gave a paper receipt and I found out I was overcharged. (When I reached out to management the following day, I was promptly refunded.) Overall, the food itself was great, but the seating arrangement and customer service needs improvement. #smashy #singlehousecheeseburger #unionsquareeast #unionsquare read more

Recommend checking out this reasonably priced, tasty burger joint which surprisingly only has one other location - Budapest. Go figure! Surprisingly (or not given that it was in the middle of the night in Hungary when I stopped for a by) the very cool cam was offline, but otherwise connects to their store over there enabling you to wave. It's a fresh beef totally American burger that you can order "Classic" like I did - which comes with cheese, grilled onions, pickles, plus classic ketchup and a dash of mustard or as an alternative condiment "House" which has their in-house dressing that sounds like the sauce on a Big Mac. The roll was a Martin's potato roll. Mine was the singe for $4.99. The fries were nicely done shoe string for $2.99. Note - their drink options are what looked like Mexican Coke, Diet Coke and water. Also, there's only a ledge to eat on plus no chairs in this tiny spot. Would be interesting if they did add something that gave a nod to Hungarian cuisine since, always during my trips there, the food has been spectacular. Definitely would go back and likely to get a Double Cheeseburger! Suggest you try it out! read more

Was in the area and decided to stop by to see what the hype was about. I tasted both the classic and the house. I enjoyed the one with the ketchup and mustard on it better. You need a double burger to really get any meat imo! Love the open kitchen concept. The staff were also friendly. Fries were hot and fresh but ehh. Couldn't taste whatever seasoning they had on it so I'm thinking it was just a little paprika? Wouldn't put it above my other favorite smash burger place tho! read more

Came here to try the smash burgers and also to check out the live cam of their Budapest location (which wasn't working) A decent line built up during lunch time, came around 2pm, simple menu, took around 10-15mins for the order to come out (no seating unfortunately but a nice grab to go meal) nothing to special about the burger, pretty straight forward, and price was comparable to other burger spots. Also tried the fries which is ok. read more

Smashy - Double House Cheese Burger - Burgers Near Me - New York, New York

A burger and fries? Yes, please! Smashy is quick and satisfying without skimping on quality -- love a simple menu done right. Get your cheeseburger made classic or house and make it a single or double. (The classic is ketchup and mustard, and house is a mayo based spread.) Comes with pickles (or opt out). Fries are seasoned and crispy. Buns are soft and the perfect compliment to a smash patty! Standing room only and be prepared to grab two burgers (because one is never enough)! read more

I'd heard about this place for a while, so i had to give it a try. The staff is friendly and efficient. The space itself is simple, burgers fries, sodas, water.... much like a local chain for tasty smash burgers. It was pretty tasty, although there were hard crunchy bits throughout. Possibly next time I'll opt for 1 slice of cheese as it overwhelmed the double burger, with some bites being more of a grilled cheese. read more

10/10 would recommend - menu is simple. You can either get a single or double. Choose classic which is ketchup based or House which is mayo based sauce. The double was perfect, cheese is melted, meat is smashed but moist. Everything just melts in your both. Fries are perfect with some seasoning but not salty. Service is fast. It's a great quick meal! read more

They're finally open! The sign inside said it's still the soft opening but the woman working said it's been about two weeks. The prices are super affordable and they were pretty quick. Not a lot of options but nevertheless the burger and house sauce were great. Fries were nothing special but still French fries. I salted them and used condiments when I got home. This is going to be a great addition to Union Square and just in time for warm weather! read more

I've passed by Smashy several times and after looking on Yelp I decided to check it out. The other Yelpers were right, this is a great find! I saw some compared it to 7th Street Burger but I found these to be less greasy and messy. The burgers are very thin and have a nice sear on them. I ordered mine without onions and they made my burger fresh. They had other burgers ready to go and it looked like they must make them regularly because it was busy, but I enjoyed the one I had which was made to order. The single burger was $6. Seemed like a pretty good deal. read more

Followed my nose and decided to stop in here after seeing the burgers being cooked in the window. Ordered the single house smash burger and split a side of fries with a friend. Similar to 7th street, they have Mexican coke and water for beverage choices but I like the burger here better. Small counter to the side where you can stand and eat, which wasn't too busy for a Sunday afternoon. Tbh- another trash can is needed as the one there was completely stuffed. Next time, I would get the double smash as the only toppings are some simple pickles and cheese. Fries are seasoned with paprika and salt and are served hot and crispy. Super glad union square is getting some more food options! Would recommend if in the area and don't want Los Tacos. read more
